Verdict
Berline fastback électrique classée 5 étoiles à l'Euro NCAP (2021), 5 places et 407 litres de coffre, déclinée en versions de 224 à 421 ch. Les exemplaires de 2020 ont fait l'objet de rappels (perte de puissance logicielle, convertisseur et réchauffeur de batterie) et l'écran d'infodivertissement est le point faible le plus cité par les propriétaires : vérifiez les rappels effectués et testez l'écran.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Known faults
Écran d'infodivertissement et caméra de recul
Severity 1/3 · AnnoyingL'écran central est le défaut le plus cité par les propriétaires : bugs, lenteurs, plantages exigeant un redémarrage, connectivité aléatoire de CarPlay ou Spotify, et caméra de recul qui s'affiche mal quand l'écran défaille. Des mises à jour ont atténué le problème sans le supprimer selon RPM Web ; Bumper évoque au Royaume-Uni des blocages, coupures audio et redémarrages du système.

Inspection checklist
Polestar 2 I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier chez Polestar ou Volvo les rappels et mises à jour logicielles effectués (surtout sur un exemplaire de 2020).
- Tester l'écran central longuement : lenteurs, redémarrages, CarPlay, affichage de la caméra de recul.
- Contrôler l'état de santé de la batterie et l'autonomie réelle selon la version (64 à 82 kWh).
- Vérifier l'absence de message d'erreur de propulsion ou de mode dégradé au démarrage.
- Demander le carnet d'entretien et l'historique de recharge.
Questions to ask the seller
- Les rappels de 2020 (logiciel de puissance, convertisseur, réchauffeur de batterie) ont-ils été effectués ? Avez-vous les justificatifs ?
- L'écran d'infodivertissement ou la caméra de recul ont-ils déjà posé problème ?
- Quelle est l'autonomie réelle constatée et quelle batterie équipe la voiture ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
